Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel Territory History Show Episode 86
Episode 86 of The Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel History Show continues our 1976 territory reviews as we head to the Pacific Northwest.
Segment 1:
We look at Don Owen’s Portland Territory in 1976 with two of the finest experts on the territory — author and historian Mike Rodgers and his collaborator Frank Culbertson. There are no two better people to walk us through the buildings, the talent, and the business of Portland that year.
Segment 2:
We hop across the border to the Vancouver Territory. Steve Verrier joins the show. He’s the author of the Gene Kiniski biography, the George Gordienko biography, and Pacific Wrestling in the Northwest, a comprehensive history of wrestling in that part of the country. Steve helps us break down Vancouver in 1976.
Segment 3:
Steve Gennerelli returns for our latest Mailbag segment. He and I dig into questions from our listeners and viewers.
Portland, Vancouver, and the Mailbag — all in one episode.
📌 Episode 86 is available now on Castos, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and all your usual platforms.
Hit play, leave a review, and keep riding with us through the Time Tunnel!
SHOW CLIP: In this short clip, Tony and Steve Gennerelli answers a question from the MAILBAG about why Wahoo McDaniel wasn’t considered to be a World’s Champion:
